After failure of Boetius |
New chance for Boateng
Die Testicular tumor disease by Jean-Paul Boetius (28) has for Hertha also sporting consequences!
At the end of the week it should be clear whether the midfielder, who has always been used since the second league game, needs chemotherapy. In any case, he will be out longer. Coach Sandro Schwarz (43) has to look for a replacement.
This is the new chance for Kevin-Prince Boateng (35)! After three part-time appearances in the past three games, the vice-captain had not had a chance. Now he’s a factor on the pitch again. Schwarz: “Boateng was always important.”
The duel for the free midfield place has broken out, with good cards for cabin boss Boateng. He has a good chance of playing against strong Hoffenheim on Sunday.
Is that on purpose? Only Ronaldo can do such a trick shot

In contrast to competitor Vladimir Darida (31), Boateng brings playful ideas and pass security into play, and also exudes calm. Darida, on the other hand, can score with running strength.
Black rearranges his midfield, says: “Of course we have one man less in midfield now. But Suat Serdar is coming back for that.” He should be set next to Lucas Tousart (25). For the third midfield place there is Ivan Sunjic (25) or Boateng.
One thing is clear: Hertha is keeping its fingers crossed that the Boetius representation is only needed for a limited time. Schwarz: “We hope that it will take a similar course to Marco.” Marco Richter (24) was diagnosed with testicular cancer in July, but did not need chemotherapy after his operation and was able to play again 46 days after the diagnosis.
Schwarz with good news: “I visited Djanga on Monday. He hasn’t lost his laugh. Everything went well in terms of the surgery and his emotional state.”
